Museum Box is a great website for Social Studies classes, but can be used for any subject because what you put in your museum box does not have to just be about a person, but it can be about an event, a place, or a historical period. So you could use it across the curriculum to present an argument or or a description. Within your Museum Box you can include a text file, a picture, an audio clip, and a video clip. The site also gives you the ability to view and comment on other museum boxes. Each Museum Box can have multiple layers, so you are not limited in space and what you can add. You add one item to the box, and within that one item you add sub-items that relate to it.

The site also has a dedicated Teacher Resource Area where you can set up a school account. From there you can add your students, or your students can log into the site and then select your school from a list. Once your students have completed their Museum Box it will go to you for review and publication.
